The Surprising Way to Buff Wood Floors

Fix those costly dings and scratches with this simple, unexpected product.

Maintaining wood floors may be a burden, but believe it or not, you can renew them with a staple most often found in a nursery. Yes, one of the easiest ways to clear up those dings in your hardwood floors is by buffing them with a cloth diaper.

They're extremely soft and absorb well, so they make the ideal material for rubbing out small scratches and imperfections. And, since they're reusable, you won't have to stock up on too many. Even if you thought you'd never have use for cloth diapers, you might want to pick some up for your next cleaning project.
